I'm in Microeconomics 203 right now...and the professor is lecturing on sex diseases. I think his rambling had some meaning at some point...but not anymore....now he's transitioned from the Sherman Anti-Trust Laws to the merger of Glaxo-Welcome to the release of the AIDS drug, AZT, to sexual diseases...to herpes and WWII...to erectile dysfuntion...to very descriptive examples of his memories on the subject...and then suddenly..."And that's how Glaxo-Welcome became a monopoly, I don't lie." Now he's talking about Cialis, Viagra, and enjoying sex for the first time in his life....I've got to hear this...so much for econ....(this better be on the exam)

Rolled out of bed early for an 8am writing class. Barely made it to class--but did. Had math today...royally stunk (as usual). A couple meetings and conference calls for Palopia. All in all, I've been pretty tired, but I'm very excited that things are coming along for our startup.

I'm about to leave the dorm for a little while and pick up my dinner at Subway (I ordered online from www.ordersubway.com--it's so awesome bypassing lines...hehehe). I so refuse to eat at EVK tonight--or ever for that matter. Those at North here at USC share my plight...

For the record...I've been study (almost) non-stop for my Microeconomics midterm which is on Wednesday. When I'm done with that, I'll need to study and prepare for my math midterm the following week. Why can't grades just be granted via interviews or speeches? Oh well.

My business project is coming along well...I'm excited to announce that I'll be spending the summer with my business partners and team in Los Angeles. I'm unhappy that I'll only get to see my family for a few weeks during the break. My third summer in a row--away from home.

I'm pretty excited about attending a lunch hosted by Warren Bennis in a couple weeks. USC's management guru, Bennis, will be interviewing business leadership legend, Jack Welch (of GE fame). I hope to ask him for a little advice for my startup--however, I think the situation's a little bit different.

I had an "interesting" but great weekend with my grandparents in Seal Beach. Transportation back and forth was much better than I expected...

Isaac has me started on a health binge...6 miles at the track and multiple fruit and vegetable smoothies (instead of EVK crud). James has no idea what he's in for when he joins in LA this summer...

All around pretty much happy, a little tired, and definately missing someone...
